A scarce August 1948 issue of Charm, “the magazine for the woman who works,” with a wonderfully surreal cover featuring a fashionably dressed woman beside a monumental rooster weathervane. Cover features include “First Jobs” and “Accent on Juniors.”
Created for the growing postwar audience of working women, the magazine offers a vivid record of late-1940s fashion and culture through period clothing, photography, advertising, articles, and practical advice. It is an engaging reference for collectors of vintage fashion, women’s history, graphic design, and mid-century print ephemera.
